my grey hair
showing through
bamboo shoots
my grey hair
showing through
bamboo shoots
Green is the grass
that grows in my garden
black and brown are the birds
dotted around the place
they land feeding on worms
sometimes a splash of colour
when one sees something different
out of the corner of the eye
a branch of hope
beacon of the skies
spring is in the air
now the bees have woken up
to the plum blossom
in streams I swim
through dreams I communicate
adorned am I
by golden idols
breath deeply
and you can feel it
a difference of sound
templates of the stars
kaleidoscopic images
of different colours
strewn across the sky
calling out to her
why did she have to leave
I want to see her again
but I know that is unlikely
I dream of a rainbow moon
a circle of light
it’s colour a reflection
of everything
sunrise
sunset
symmetry
the colour change
subtle like your eyes
reflect each day passing
1
sunset over the hills
a rose colour
like that of flowers
dispelling their light
2
cloudy sky
sunshines through
have to hide my gaze
from her face
3
the clouds set up
as the day fades
covers us all
in a blanket
4
when i can no longer see
the sunset rolling in
as the fog has managed
to cover the sky
5
Afternoon sun
paints a picture
of clear blue sky
across mountains
a butterfly came to visit me
her colour a blur
of brown and black
but I could make out her eyes
as if to say hello
farewell and goodbye
